Secondly, what is this idea of top-secret keys no one has heard of?
Several forks of bytecoin have been launched - this type of keys would have surely been mentioned somewhere already.
The basics of the whole philosophy of cryptonote and bytecoin is decentralization and anonimity - there cannot be such a thing as a secret key to destroy coins.
THIS. WTF is going on. How can someone just have his one billion coins deleted by the devs?
Nobody ever destroyed any old bytecoins.. my coins are more than year old and are safe, Ive just rechecked them.
the devs never communicate with the community, just with the team leaders (something like pools).. and the leaders have to pass the info to their group members.
looks like somebodys trolling you.. there are no news about burning, there are no such secret keys to destroy bytecoins.
